... I'll be daring and let the world know that a hint for a low-security password of mine is EAR. You will never, ever guess the password from that hint. No one who knows me will ever guess the password from that hint. You can guess until the cows come home and you simply won't get it. And if you happened to learn my password, you wouldn't be able to figure out why the hint matches it.
